Without this, it’s tough to calculate a realistic cash-on-cash return or DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio).Condition of the Property: Are there any deferred maintenance or capital expenditures needed in the short term?

I base my rents on the condition of the unit and the competition. 

Many pest companies stated this was the worse infestation they had ever seen.Despite its condition, the property presented an attractive investment opportunity due to its below-market listing price.

A mild recession is possible, but its impact on housing demand will depend on regional and economic conditions.

No emotions... no arguments.... this is the lease conditions, this is the eviction process for not following the lease terms... that's it.... no emotion. 

In this situation we have a former-tenant  hyper sensitive to return of full security deposit (when unit wasn’t returned in good condition) and we are  experiencing a few unique damages.

However, with the rates and conditions of any triplexes and fourplexes we could find (we did find one, but it's in the Pendleton Heights suburb of KCMO, so we were worried about it being too dangerous of an area), we were wondering if it's worth it to buy a duplex and rent out the other half to help pay the mortgage, or if it's more worthwhile to rent an apartment and try to save up to buy a residential or commercial MFH later?

That being said WE CHOSE TO DO THIS. so to the 2 so called "investors" who are here trying to slander us claiming we are "scamming them" or trying to convince them to buy a property under these conditions.....thats false as none of this is necessary to wholesale a deal and make profit......Over half of these investors arent even familiar with what wholesaling even is and so when they get upset about something that has to do with their property....because we offer to help them out....they immediately point the finger at us as if whatever happens to their property is somehow our fault. 

He told us the same thing...he had health problems... 

Do not give them anything until they have 100% moved out and left property in condition you expected it to be in if you have not done so already I would inspect the unit now as well
